4 Must-Haves Travel Nurses Can’t Ignore When for Picking a Furnished Apartment

Ready, travel nurses? Your next assignment is just a few weeks away, but picking the perfect furnished apartment can be overwhelming. 

As you’re starting your search, here are some things you must consider in choosing the perfect home-away-from-home for your next travel assignment:

Location, Location, Location:

The most important thing when it comes to finding a furnished apartment is, where the heck is it located?

You want to find a place that’s close to the hospital or healthcare facility where you’ll be working and close to the good stuff, like grocery stores, restaurants, and public transportation.

It’s not a vacation, but it’s good to make your commute as easy as possible.

Safety First, Safety always:

You’re already saving lives, don’t let your own safety be in danger.

Make sure to find a furnished apartment that’s in a safe area, with all the necessary security features like deadbolts, smoke alarms, and security cameras.

A building with a remote entry is always a plus.

Cleanliness is next to godliness

Cleanliness and sanitation are everything- (you know the infectious disease nurse is always asking about CAUTIs).

Well, of course, that same principle applies to looking for housing.

Look for a furnished apartment that’s well-maintained, with a focus on cleanliness, and regularly cleaned. You’re saving lives all day, don’t come home to a dirty place.

Amenities, Amenities, Amenities:

Finally, make sure to find a furnished apartment with all the necessary amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You deserve a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed internet, and comfortable furnishings, and if you’re lucky, a gym, pool, or laundry facilities. You’re working hard, you deserve the best.
